Yeoman generator
Getting Started
What is Yeoman?
Trick question. It's not a thing. It's this guy:
Basically, he wears a top hat, lives in your computer, and waits for you to tell him what kind of application you wish to create.
Not every new computer comes with a Yeoman pre-installed. He lives in the npm package repository. You only have to ask for him once, then he packs up and moves into your hard drive. Make sure you clean up, he likes new and shiny things.
npm install -g yo
Yeoman Generators
Yeoman travels light. He didn't pack any generators when he moved in. You can think of a generator like a plug-in. You get to choose what type of application you wish to create, such as a Backbone application or even a Chrome extension.
To install generator-stratic from npm, run:
npm install -g generator-stratic
Finally, initiate the generator:
yo stratic
Getting To Know Yeoman
Yeoman has a heart of gold. He's a person with feelings and opinions, but he's very easy to work with. If you think he's too opinionated, he can be easily convinced.

Naming
Stratic stands for STReaming stATIC site generator.
I also considered Glug, which stands for GulpLog Universal Generator. GulpLog is supposed to sound similar to weblog and Glug is supposed to sound similar to Gulp. In the end, though, Stratic won out.
